Fiber-optic
cable
Connect the other end of the cable to the 100BASE-FX port of the other device.
The port LED turns on when both the switch and the connected device have
established link.
The port LED is amber while the STP discovers the topology and searches for
loops. This takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
If the port LED does not turn on, the device at the other end might not be turned
on, or there might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in
the attached device. See Chapter 3, "Troubleshooting," for solutions to cabling
problems.
Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each 100BASE-FX port.
Depending on the switch model, you can connect the LRE port to either 12 or 24
LRE customer premises equipment (CPE) devices through a patch panel.
You can connect both Cisco 575 LRE CPE and Cisco 585 LRE CPE devices to
your LRE switch, and you can hot swap the CPE devices without powering down
the switch or disrupting the other switch ports.
